Labour leader highlights border security and rejects criticism of migrant policy as tour of world leaders continues
Sir Keir Starmer revealed that he speaks to Barack Obama as he continued his tour of meeting world leaders.
The Labour leader made the remarks during the latest stage of his world tour, where he has sought to burnish his image on the international stage.
Having met Canadian premier Justin Trudeau, along with other Left-wing leaders at a summit in Montreal, he will hold talks with French president Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday.
He also appears to be eyeing up a meeting with Joe Biden, the US president, whose “Bidenomics” and landmark green subsidy push have won Labour’s admiration.
